Today when I got ready to go to sleep I learned my room mate's cat had peed all over my bed, in multiple places, and it soaked through into the mattress. What a wonderful night I have ahead of me trying to salvage this.
That sucks bad. Some of them are jealous. My roomat’s cat, in the 90, climbed on my drafting table and destroyed an important drawing I was doing for my design degree. Keep your door lclosed at all times.

After his ex wife moved out, she (the cat not the ex wife) peed started peeing on my bed pretty regularly but she hasn't done it in a few years, so I'm hoping it was just being stressed bc she (again, the cat) has had to be at the vet two or three times in the past week. But yeah, my door is staying shut for a while, which is going to make my cat mad because he likes to sleep in there during the day, but he'll just have to sleep in a window.

I never used them but maybe an impermeable mattress cover would be a solution.
 



So for the past decade or so, I’ve done 90%+ of my annual CLE (continuing legal education) courses online. I only attend in person when I can kinda make a vacation out of it, or take Mom shopping.

NBI, a CLE provider I like, started offering a deal: $1000 for 1 year’s unlimited access to their online lessons. That pays for itself in 1-3 courses- really a steal! I’ve used it as my primary CLE provider for 3 years, now.

But I just found out that it’s now apparently an “opt out” plan that automatically renews itself. (Mine did so on Wednesday.)

I HATE opt out plans.

But this one is so damn useful, I’m going to tamp down my reflexive reaction and not contact NBI’s CustServ. No “You’ve just lost a customer!” rant from me; not on this.

But I am going to have to make a special note of that renewal anniversary. I’m years away from ceasing maintaining my law license, but I definitely don’t want to spend $1000/year (or more when the process inevitably increases) when I no longer need their services.
I've been increasingly using my Google Wallet to pay for subscriptions when available. It will send me reminders when they're coming up on their renewal dates.
